To me, top level, this seemed like a re-discovery of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Mind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Mind but with more detail as to how the actual neocortex works. I think the most important part of 'kilobrain' was the clear description of a single Functional Unit, that appears to be replicated throughout the neocortex and, ultimately, performs all functions we consider 'higher'. This, in a way, reduces Applied Intelligence to building an actual 'Function Unit' in something other than meatware (e.g. CMOS); and having high-bandwidth ways to hook FU's together to build (at first) sub-parts of the brain (e.g. maybe the auditory system). This would be an "MVP" type proof-of-concept that 'should' allow construction of a Full Brain. Now, exactly how such h/w would be 'programmed' (or trained) to perform said function -- that, I don't understand yet.
